About this website

Jean-Philippe Roguet, 65 years old, residing in the southwest of France (Biscarrosse) since April 2023, I have been interested in entomology for 49 years, the last 37 years dedicated to the group of flat-faced longhorned beetles.

At first I created the entomological database management system in 1996 to compile a comprehensive catalog of Lamiines.

The graph theory inspired me algorithms:
- to build the tree of taxa with their known combinations and synonymies, obsolete or not, from nomenclatural acts and other records (localities) found in the bibliography,
- to calculate the status of groups, deduce their relationships and their applicable name,
- to generate an updated systematic catalog, the faunistic catalogs and so on.

Then I created the website in 2004 to share the results. The pages and services use this entomological database with tools developed to support my operational activities related to the collection and the bibliography, to prepare entomological expeditions, to facilitate determination with implemented keys and bestiaries derived into relevant tools by region.

I designed templates of pages and developed apps with PHP, MYSQL, HTML, CSS and Javascript.

To photograph and illustrate the website, I use Nikon D7500 on reproduction stand, Micro-Nikkor AF 60mm f/2.8 and now AF-S 105 mm f/2.8G, Helicon software, Photoshop software and some PHP modules to generate and integrate the images.

My permanent concern is the continuous enrichment of the website to constitute a useful and pleasant reference for all the visitors.

For example, some representative websites on their perimeter :

• Bezbycids.com has a very useful gallery to determine the longhorned beetle
• BioLib provides an updated list of taxa very useful
• Cerambycoidea.com is also interesting for its forum, its gallery and its digital library
• Titan database gives bibliographical references of taxa and museums keeping the types
